Hello, I am expecting my twins on May 16 or earlier through a surrogate. I am 1 week and 3 days into pumping with the accelerated induced lactation protocol. I pump every 2 hours more or less and making sure to pump 10 times per day and once in the night, early morning. I was elated that I have tiny drops of breastmilk coming out but it is intermittent and not with every pump. Is there any method to pumping to be more effective and I would like to know of others who had done induced lactation on how long before they can see milk flow.
I would try to do the pump, jiggle, pump method. I would pump about half my time and then stop and jiggle, massage, move my breasts around. Then I would complete my pumping time.
So, how are things going? I am an IBCLC and have a mom on the same path as you. Baby due in a month. She's been pumping a week and is getting intermittent drops. Would love to have any tips from you since you're fresh with the experience. I will work on getting her connected here. Also, my email is liane@happilynursing.com and you are welcome to reach out to her via me. Thanks for sharing!
